Detached three-bay two-storey farmhouse, occupied 1901, on a T-shaped plan with single-bay (single-bay deep) two-storey central return (west). Now disused. Hipped slate roof on a T-shaped plan centred on hipped slate roof (west) with terracotta ridge tiles, paired rendered red brick Running bond central chimney stacks having paired stringcourses below capping, and remains of cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered slate flagged eaves retaining cast-iron downpipes. Part creeper- or ivy-covered lime rendered walls with concealed flush quoins to corners. Hipped elliptical- or segmental-headed central door opening with timber mullions on overgrown threshold supporting timber transom, and concealed dressings framing timber panelled door having sidelights below fanlight. Square-headed window openings with cut-granite sills, and concealed red brick block-and-start surrounds framing six-over-six (ground floor) or three-over-six (first floor) timber sash windows. Set in overgrown grounds.

A farmhouse representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of the outskirts of Clogh with the architectural value of the composition, one rooted firmly in the prevailing late Georgian fashion, confirmed by such attributes as the compact plan form centred on a restrained doorcase showing a pretty radial fanlight; and the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression. A prolonged period of unoccupancy notwithstanding, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of the composition. Furthermore, adjacent "tin roofed" outbuildings (extant 1839) continue to contribute positively to the group and setting values of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in a rural street scene.
